In the Name of God - Chapter 15.2
He didn’t seem interested in prying further about my condition and spoke instead.
“You said you became an awakened only about a month ago, but this is already your eighth dungeon, right?”
“It’s been about a month and two weeks. And yes, this is the eighth.”
“So it’s not like you have that much experience, but your skill is impressive. Were you in the military before becoming awakened?”
“No. I just studied the awakened training videos diligently.”
Of course, that was a lie.
“Ah, then I could fight like you, Seong Do‑yoon?”
Was he serious?
I hadn’t seen Lee Sunho’s actual combat skills yet, so it was impossible to know.
“I don’t know. You might even fight better than me…”
I trailed off and glanced back. When our eyes met, Lee Sunho smiled warmly again.
“By the way, what’s your ability, Lee Sunho?”
“Mine?”
His eyes curved slightly. They looked playful, but also like he was trying to gauge me.
“Want to guess?”
I glanced at the sword over his shoulder.
I briefly thought about the typical abilities of awakened sword users, then stopped.
He had held a sword long before becoming an awakened, so trying to deduce his ability from the weapon would be a waste of time.
“Never mind. Knowing won’t change anything.”
I was planning to fight alone today anyway. Whatever ability he had, I wasn’t going to ask a newly awakened person to use it.
“I’m a multi-ability awakened.”
Hearing this, I couldn’t help but take interest.
A multi-ability awakened. Unlike ordinary awakened who gain one special ability, this type possesses three or more abilities.
While dual-ability awakened appear once or twice a year, there are fewer than fifty multi-ability awakened in the entire world. A rare awakened like that was standing right in front of me, carrying a rank 9 tag.
“Are you joking? A multi-ability awakened shouldn’t even be rank 9.”
“I was lazy during the evaluation and only showed one ability.”
It was hard to believe.
If he truly were a multi-ability awakened, simply proving it could have granted him an exceptional promotion to rank 5.
-Could he just be a ridiculously handsome guy?
‘It seems credible enough.’
I nodded silently, thinking the same as Echo.
There really are no normal people in even the lowest-ranked dungeons.
I almost ignored it, then paused.
‘I don’t know why he said that, but if, just if, what Lee Sunho said is true…’
I exhaled deeply with a complicated expression.
“…If it’s true, keep it hidden.”
“Why?”
“Because it’s dangerous.”
Back when I played this game, the young apostle I chose received a special ability through my power.
I couldn’t remember the exact ability due to gaps in my memory, but I vividly remembered the envy, jealousy, and desire of countless awakened aimed at that child.
I also remembered how much that child had been exploited.
I wanted to see that child again.
“If you wanted money, fame, or power, you would have revealed your abilities during evaluation. Since you don’t need those things, you’re hiding your abilities, right?”
“….”
“Then keep hiding them.”
I said firmly and coldly.
“If another holy war breaks out, we’ll need to be the first to fight.”
Even my young apostle in memory had faced similar circumstances.
“Sometimes your own ability can become a shackle. Once trapped, even if you want to escape, you cannot.”
I did not bother hiding my bitter expression.
“I may sound like an old-fashioned man lecturing you, but remember this because I care about you, Lee Sunho.”
I didn’t know if my words would reach him, but if he truly was a special awakened, I hoped he would remember.
As I turned to continue walking, Lee Sunho spoke in a low voice.
“Is that an experience story?”
I said nothing.
